Hi? Iron Man 500?

[fictivore.livejournal.com]

Umm.... So since there isn't really a Tony Stark community out there and I really really need some input on this. Help, guys?

I just read Invincible Iron Man #500 and apparently it's gone into reprint and everyone is really pleased with it. Umm, what did you think of it? Did you think he got Tony was right in what he would or would not do? Do you know anything about Fraction's future plans with Tony and what are your opinions about them?

Because I just read the issue, and... I can't get over it. I don't want to lead witness or whatever in the post so I'll put my opinions in the comments, but please, I really really need to get this off my chest. Thanks.

I agree with all of your thoughts on the whole Tony/Pepper thing in IIM. I just cannont get behind them as a pairing in comics. Sleeping with the man you asked to kill your husband who was one of his closest friends as well is never a smart thing.

The one thing I did like that came about from the crazyness of IIM is Pepper becoming a superhero. I wasn't sure about it at first but it's growing on me. Though with both Pepper & Rhodey as heroes and Happy dead, Tony should start building up his support group again.

Yeah, I sort of love that too... Only I wish there was no JARVIS (because dammit writers, how many times must an AI go evil and sentient on Tony, before you stop with it! He was so spooked by the sentient armor, he basically went back several iterations to prevent it from happening again... And now with the added threat from Ultron and everything, he *still* makes an AI? The hell?)

Also, is it just me or does 'Peace Maker' sound better than Rescue? I... I've sort of fallen in love with this name for her, idk where I heard it, but it even goes with the whole theme naming thing! Iron Man, War Machine, Peace Maker! A mix of machine and idealogy and completely cocky to boot??? Rescue is like a job-desription she heard her AI say... :\
